The New York Times published an overview of Andrew Breitbart’s involvement in the Weiner scandal. According to Breitbart, Megan Broussard, one of the congressman’s online-only paramours, contacted him about her salacious exchange with the New York Democrat. Breitbart, wanting to “take this out of the partisan rancor realm,” hooked up with ABC News, which interviewed Broussard and licensed her photos. ABC had no comment, nor did Matt Drudge, Breitbart’s fedora-topped former mentor. The Times also notes that Drudge’s Web concern, The Drudge Report, did not link to the Broussard story. Did Breitbart gain an apology but lose a friend? And so doesn’t Anthony Weiner then technically owe him another apology?

Eliot Spitzer

It was with rare eagerness that we awaited last night’s episode of Eliot Spitzer’s CNN show, In the Arena (né Parker Spitzer). The former New York governor dove right in, devoting his opening segment to the Weiner scandal. “It was the kind of moment that neither politicians nor journalists should be proud of,” he said of yesterday afternoon’s press conference. “And believe me, I know—I've been there.” We do believe him.

Above is another, less interesting segment of In the Arena, in which Spitzer, perpetually unsuccessful New York politician Rick Lazio, stentorian Southern man James Carville, and the Daily Beast’s Howard Kurtz discuss whether Weiner should resign.
